You've been reading up on victoriana again Chas. Lovely little piece and from experience I know that they are tricky little sods to do neatly. :lol:

Yes Johnny, I thought the Rosewood would look better but it's too small for any impact, and I certainly won't be turning any more than necessary of that particular species if I can help it, very dusty and fragile to turn and uncomfortable in contact with the skin. Will be trying some in Cherry next.
